Postmania XVIII: Big Zeke ain't got no cuts!

[Legato]

Nooooooo, he sucks, put chris hero on roids and move him up, he's good on the mic and in the ring.
Big E cut that horrific number 5 promo, and then had a bad match, every week.

I'm going to have to go with Bronson. Least he has technical skills. Also can provide a nice technical wrestling match with Danielson

He had a really good submission match in FCW with Dean Ambrose and apparently at an nxt house show, the two had what was called by seth rollins, the most brutal and violent match in nxt/fcw ever.


Plus he uses a figure four heel hook. Thats freaking awesome!

Or Chris Hero, because he's better.

Damien Sandow on Being Trained by Kowalski, Comparisons to Lanny Poffo, His Cartwheel
By Marc Middleton
Nov 26, 2012 - 7:23:25 AM

- WWE Superstar Damien Sandow was interviewed by Scott Fishman of The Miami Herald earlier this month. Here are some highlights:

Being trained by Killer Kowalski:
"That was tremendous. The knowledge that he gave me as far as foundation goes and an outlook on how you approach things in this industry is something that still serves me very well today. I apply it on a daily basis."

The cartwheel that he does:
"It’s simply a physical display of how well-rounded I am inside and outside the ring. It is intelligence meets balance meets physical fitness. It is simply the only thing that can truly display how well rounded a competitor I am."

Comparisons to “The Genius” Lanny Poffo:
"I simply have to deal with the crusade at hand and enlightenment of everyone. The Genius Lanny Poffo as we know him, is someone who recites poetry. I do not recite poetry. I simply recite statements. My verbiage is geared more toward people enriching their lives. So I do what I do for the people."

One Reason Why Dolph Ziggler Hasn't Cashed In, The Rock Wraps Movie Work, Beth Phoenix
By Marc Middleton
Nov 26, 2012 - 7:58:37 AM

- The Rock noted on Twitter that filming for Fast 6 in London has finally wrapped. He posted the following:



"THANK YOU to our UK #Fast6 film crew - long hours, dedicated work & dirty jokes. #ItsAWrap #TeamBringItUK"

"On jet leavin' London.. months of shooting #Fast6 & intense training/dieting/mat work for my @WWE Championship match. #TBI #PushThePace"

- Former WWE Diva Beth Phoenix says she's ready for the next big thing. She tweeted:

"I loved my career, but life is bigger than work. I am enjoying living very much and ready for the next big thing"

- One of the reasons Dolph Ziggler hasn't cashed in his Money in the Bank contract yet is because his feud with John Cena was pushed back from original plans, until now, and there's a feeling that Ziggler needed to feud with Cena first before having a run with the World Heavyweight Title.

[Alex]

For Jericho's info, he didn't have any of the best ppv matches last year, he didn't even have one of Punk's best matches, so...

[Gryphon]

I'm going to have to go with Bronson. Least he has technical skills. Also can provide a nice technical wrestling match with Danielson

Bronson vs Danielson would be the closest we will ever get to Taz vs Danielson.


Also both have MMA training from Randy Couture.

I don't get how you have all this confidence in Bronson when i've never seen the dude have a match longer than 10 minutes, even when he was in FCW.
Might have been 5 minutes actually.

Ive seen the house show matches before they got taken down
he wreslted a 20 minute draw with ambrose.

Well, i haven't seen that, and until i see more than 1 house show match that dissapeared, i see nothing in this guy that makes me think he has anything.
I see negatives that i know WWE doesn't like.

[Legato]

I get the feeling WWE doesn't have any faith in Ziggler when it comes to being a main eventer

[Vibranium]

I get the feeling WWE doesn't have any faith in Ziggler when it comes to being a main eventer

I don't think they're that off base

I like Ziggler solid upper midcarder, occasional main event matches, but Im not buying a PPV to watch him, nor would I buy a ticket to go see him

WWE knows how to play the long game and considering that the dynamics of professional wrestling are changing, they might have misgivings about his long term plans

[Alex]

I get the feeling WWE doesn't have any faith in Ziggler when it comes to being a main eventer

So thats why they gave him a completly clean win over Orton and might be giving him a win over Cena at the main event of the next ppv, while also giving him a lot of tv and mic time?
Because they have no faith in him?

Would you buy a ppv to see Ryback have his bad match and cut a food based promo?

Yes a clean win over Cena by handicapping him.

[BeastieRunner]

For Jericho's info, he didn't have any of the best ppv matches last year, he didn't even have one of Punk's best matches, so...

I'm a huge Jericho fan and his matches are always good. His last few years of matches though have been by the numbers. That's still better than most people but I'd say the last really good match he had was actually his heel sendoff with John Cena (prior to coming back).

I think he's a WWE lifer. I don't think they should be wasting time with him, either give him the belt and run with it, or cut him loose.
